Benefits of technology

The present invention is a pocket mask apparatus that includes a respiratory mask and a mask pouch. The mask has a folding seam and is positioned within the mask pouch, which has an opening to receive the mask. The mask can be easily folded up and stored in a flat, compact way, making it easy to carry and use at any time. The technical effect of this invention is the creation of a practical and convenient solution for protecting respiratory health in situations where there is no ready access to a respiratory mask.

Problems solved by technology

However, such masks are generally made of flexible material to fit the wearer's face and usually are not easy to carry without damaging their shape.
For example, when the user wishes to carry a flexible face mask in a container (e.g., a purse or bag), the mask can be wrinkled or damaged through contact with other items in it or through movements of the wearer that may continuously change the shape of the container.
Many people cough or sneeze into their hands, which thus become covered with germs.
However, this method does not solve the problem of having one's clothing or arms covered with germs, including sputum (mucus, phlegm, and other such matter).
Not only can this be unpleasant to people, but it also still allows transfer of germs to others who touch the person in the area of the arm that is covered by germs.
People can use tissues to clean the arms or cover the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, but tissues are not always readily available.
People can wear surgical masks to keep from spreading germs to others, but masks are not always easy to carry without damaging them and can be easily lost.
